April 7, 2021 Historic Preservation

Cleanup work continues at the Route 27 site that once held an historic building that township officials say was demolished without proper permits.

The owner of Route 27 property located in the Franklin Park Historic District faces $8,000 in fines after they apparently demolished historic buildings without the proper permits.

The main building, located at 3011 Route 27, was built in 1840 and sat on the site of Somerset County’s first courthouse, according to Andrew Burian, chairman of the township’s Historic Preservation Advisory Commission.
